For example, the settings and views are different when you use the device for hunting than when geocaching. When you are using a profile and you change settings, such as data fields or units of measurement, the changes are saved automatically as part of the profile. Creating a Custom Profile You can customize your settings and data fields for a particular activity or trip. 1 Select Setup > Profiles > Create Profile > OK. 2 Customize your settings and data fields.

NOTE: Changing the text language does not change the language of user-entered data or map data, such as street names. Battery Type: Allows you to change the type of AA battery you are using. USB Mode: Sets the device to use mass storage mode or Garmin mode when connected to a computer. GPS and Other Satellite Systems Using GPS and another satellite system together offers increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only. Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
